exclusive contract - submit to pro?

[janbaars]

I just signed an exclusive contract for a cue.
I can't find anything in the contract about a PRO. Should I submit the cue to my PRO?
What words should I search for within the contract that would say anything about this?

Unless specifically asked, I would not register the cue, as you do not know how they would like it registered [ie the name of their publishing company, their PRO, their IPI.]

Sometimes the PRO information is on the Schedule A, sometimes it's in the information you provide when uploading the music. Did they give you information on how to submit the cue and in what format?

You could write the PRO information under the signature before sending the contract back, but better yet, since you are just joining them, I think a polite email to say, 'thanks for the contract I have it all filled out and ready to send, looking forward to getting started with you, where should I put my PRO information?' is alright.

He specifically asked my PRO info.

Does that mean he will take care of that part?
How does that work?

Will he register the cue with his PRO and that PRO will notify my PRO whenever the cue is used?

[hummingbird]

Yes he will register the track with his PRO with your PRO info. He may do that right away, or he may do it when the track is placed.

Thanks a lot
